In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Bucholly like this:
Bucholie, a ruined castle in Canisbay parish, Caithness, on an almost insulated high rock, a little S of Freswick Bay. It seems to have been very ancient and strong; and, according to Pennant, was inhabited in the 12th century by a Danish nobleman.
Bucholly is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bucholly itself, go to Statistics.
